Guys on July 21st at 10:00 PM on the Discovery channel there will be a show about chaois in the streets and a group of 'ordinary' people band together to survive and protect them selves. May be a series, who knows??
The name of the show is COLONY
Ther are some other shows coming up in the future about the same situation so maybe it will be the thing that is a fad?
Thanks for the heads up - it's on Outlook! Anyone wanna bet the mighty government machine crushes the survivors (to discourage any real or perceived thoughts among the awakening sheeple)? Just a hunch............
This coming tuesday night on the discovery chanel. from the commercial it looks like a virus has killed everyone except a certain few and they ban together to survive... should be interesting to say the least...
watched the first episode... uh... wish it was more of a real cross section of people not three engineers, two doctors and other specialized people... the handy man seemed to me to be the most realistic person in the group, my father is a jack of all trades or a handy man... weres the soccer mom or the grocery bag boyor the military guy or cop. those would be the real people in that type of situation...
the concept of the show seems sound though... will see how the other episodes pan out...

I liked the first episode a lot. It will be interesting to see how they work out their security. There is a 'biker gang' group that, as part of the show, is instructed to harass and attack the Colony members with out harming them in any way, (but the announcer says that the colony members don't know that) I doubt that or someone is going to get hurt.
The group is a little lopsided, missing the 'average-Joe'. The one guy that you could call the 'average-Joe' has a crazy temper and could cause some serious problems. Will see how the others deal with this hot head.
"The Nurse"
“The Marine Scientist”
“The Doctor”
“The Independent Contractor”
“The Computer Engineer”
“The Machinist”
“The Martial Arts Instructor”
“The Solar Technology Tech”
“The Aerospace Engineer”
“The Mechanical Engineer”
hmm lots of brains in that group
So far skill sets I have in my group include;
vet tech
nurse
hunter/outdoorsman
fixed wing aircraft pilot
helicopter crew chief
vehicle gunner
one super smart guy (brains)
former bodyguard now cop (brawn) lol
armorer
currently we have available 1 doctor, 1 vetenarian, 2 state troopers, 1 retired USAF w/multiple combat tours, 2 Marines w/multiple combat tours, 3 US Army veterans (1 w/multiple combat tours) and 7 "Good Ole Boys" who just know how hard life is and have always been taught that nothing is "FREE".....SEMPER FI
I noticed the dearth of firearms as well. Kind of makes sense when they are being assaulted by outside forces who aren't actually going to hurt them. Because personally, I'd be shooting first and asking questions later in that scenario.
The choice of engineers in the first groups makes sense. However, the marine biologist makes no sense. Then I read her bio. Amy West is certified in CPR, rescue diving and emergency response. I'm still wondering where they really plan to take this, though.
its set in california of course there r no firearms... ur not alowed to own any...
yep, our regulations disallow any projectile over 600 fps, must not be lead based, require sensitivity therapy and have to be lubricated with patchouli oil...
